AmeriPath Reviews

Current Employee – been working at AmeriPath full-time for more than a year

Pros – Coworkers are good people, relaxed environment, decent benefits

Cons – Managers aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer and sometimes seem to make decisions just to make things more difficult (very counterproductive sometimes). Have a nasty habit of keeping incompetent people on the payroll despite numerous employee complaints. Managers have no lab experience and don't really know what's going on

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the employees, they usually know what the best course of action would be in situations since we're in it every day

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at AmeriPath full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Good benefits package if you can last long enough to get it.Many don't. Always under threat of layoffs. Stressful environment and no one cares. No coaching,, no career development.

Cons – No respect from management. Managers hired with little to no experience, creating a blind leading the blind atmosphere. Expect no support from HR, either corporate or local.

Advice to Senior Management – Open your eyes and pay attention to what you see. Better yet, Do something about it!

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Some decent managers
Some friendly co-workers

Cons – Co-workers who are lazy and incompetent aren't fired
Management doesn't back up employees enough
Favoritism is rampant

Advice to Senior Management – Walk the talk. If you have a particular policy in place, enforce it. Don't selectively enforce it. Pay attention when employees tell you that they're overburdened because someone else doesn't feel like working. Internet abuse is rampant here.

Former Employee – worked at AmeriPath

Pros – It was a great place to work because of the great people that work there and also great upper management.

Cons – I would have to say that training is not what i believe it should be. It was pretty much sink or swim and i was sinking alot of the time

Advice to Senior Management – i feel that management needs to be more cognizant of the fact that not every employee is the same and that favoritism does not belong in corporate America

Current Employee – been working at AmeriPath

Pros – Good Benefits, Fair Pay,Good Stock Plan 401k

Cons – Management is timid to address employee problems,Half of employees do all the work, the other half plays right in front of management. Management refuses to confront issues, directs people to do things that clearly will not reflect profit. Overall poor training,management, lots of ego among management

Advice to Senior Management – Rely on people with knowledge, listen and always resolve employee issues instead of sweeping them under the rug

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at AmeriPath

Pros – Latest technology, laid back environment, nice co-workers for the most part

Cons – No cubicles in some buildings, temperatures not managed & general facilities need upgrades, not much diversity in hiring. There are very few white, Hispanic, or black IT workers there. Most hired on perm seem to be Indian and not sure why...If more qualified, then that's fine. If not, then someone needs to look into it....

Advice to Senior Management – Take more advantage of individual skill sets & take time to listen. You may not need to hire more people. Choose quality over quantity in employees.
